Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and a super high contrast negative image-forming process using the material, specifically to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material used for a photomechanical process. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a field of a graphic art, a forming system for an image having a super high contrast photographic characteristic (particularly, gamma is 10 or more) is needed in order to improve reproducibility of an image with a continuous gradation by a halftone dot image and reproducibility of a line image. There is known as a method in which a stable developing solution is used to obtain a high contrast photographic characteristic, the methods using hydrazine derivatives described in U.S. Patents 4,224,401, 4,168,977, 4,166,742, 4,311,781, 4,272,606, 4,211,857, 4,912,016, and 4,998,604, and JP-A-3-259240 (corresponding to U.S. Patent 5,221,593) (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an unexamined Japanese patent application) and JP-A-5-45761 (corresponding to U.S. Patent 5,279,919). A super high contrast and high sensitive photographic characteristic can be obtained according to these methods, and furthermore, since it is allowed to add sulfite in a high concentration to a developing solution, stability of the developing solution to air oxidation is remarkably improved as compared with that of a lithographic developing solution. However, it has found that conventional hydrazine compounds have several defects. That is, it was tried to provide the structures of the conventional hydrazine compounds with an anti-diffusible property for the purpose of decreasing an adverse influence to the other photographic materials by flowing into a development processing solution. Since these anti-diffusible hydrazine compounds are necessary to be used in a large amount for a sensitization and to increase contrast, a physical strength of a light-sensitive layer obtained is deteriorated and the hydrazine compounds are deposited in a coating solution of the light-sensitive layer. Furthermore, there has been found a problem that processing in a fatigued developing solution in which a lot of the light-sensitive materials are processed can not provide a sufficiently high contrast. In general, a contact work light-sensitive material handled in a daylight occupies a large area as one of the light-sensitive materials for a photomechanical processing, and in this field, a high superimposed letter image quality by which even a fine Ming letter is reproduced. That has required a development of a nucleus-forming agent having a higher activity. Particularly in a daylight light-sensitive material which has such a low sensitivity as can be handled even in a daylight, since it is difficult to obtain a high contrast by the nucleus-forming agent, the nucleus-forming agent having further high activity is desired. A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material using a hydrazine compound of the following formula is described in JP-A-3-259240: R 1 -S-L-C(O)-N(R 2 )-J-X-NHNH-C(O)-R 3 wherein R 1 is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group, and L is an alkylene group or an alkenylene group. A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material using a hydrazine compound of the following formula is described in JP-A-2-25843 (corresponding to U.S. Patent 4,912,016): R-S-CH 2 -CONH-phenylene-NHNH-CHO wherein R is an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 to 8 or a cycloalkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms in a ring. Further, a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material using a hydrazine compound of the following formula is described in JP-A-5-45761: R 1 -L 1 -R 2 -L 2 -R 3 -NHNH-G 1 -R 4 It is described in this patent that a case in which R 1 is an ethylene oxide group, a pyridinium group or an alkylthio group substituted with a quaternary ammonium group is preferred. L 1 represents -SO 2 NR 5 -, -NR 5 SO 2 NR 5 -, -NR 5 CONR 5 -, or -G 2 P(O)(G 2 R 5 )-NR 5 -. However, it has been found that the defects described above can not sufficiently be improved with the hydrazine compounds concretely described in these patents.

The specific examples of the compounds represented by Formula (I) are listed below but the present invention will not be limited thereto. The hydrazine compounds of the present invention were synthesized by applying the processes described in, for example, JP-A-61-213,847 and JP-A-62-260,153, U.S. Patents 4,648,604, 3,379,529, 3,620,746, and 4,377,634, 4,332,878, JP-A-49-129,536, JP-A-56-153,336, JP-A-56-153,342, and JP-A-1-269936, and U.S. Patents 4,988,604 and 4,944,365. Synthetic example: synthesis of the exemplified compound I-6 The compound B (16.7 g) was added to a mixed solution of the following raw material compound A (11.5 g) and dimethylacetoamide (30 ml) and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at a room temperature for 6 hours. After finishing a reaction, a reaction solution was poured into a mixed solution of ethyl acetate (1 liter) and water (1 liter) and a deposited white solid matter was filtered off. The solid matter thus obtained was recrystallized with acetonitrile to thereby obtain the aimed substance (12.0 g). The structure of the compound was confirmed with an NMR spectrum and an IR spectrum. Melting point: 152 to 153°C. Compound B C 7 H 15 SCH 2 CH 2 NH 2 The other compounds were synthesized as well in the similar manners. The hydrazine derivatives of the present invention can be dissolved in a suitable solvent compatible with water, for example, alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, and fluorinated alcohol), ketones (acetone and methyl ethyl ketones), dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, and methyl cellosolve to use them. Further, the hydrazine derivatives can be dissolved with an aid of an oil such as dibutyl phthalate, tricresyl phosphate, glyceryl triacetate, and diethyl phthalate, and an auxiliary solvent such as ethyl acetate and cyclohexanone to mechanically prepare the emulsified dispersions thereof by the well known dispersing methods to use them as well. Alternatively, a powder of a redox compound can be dispersed in water by a method known as a solid matter dispersing method with a ball mill, a colloid mill or a supersonic wave to use it as well. An addition amount of the hydrazine compound in the present invention is preferably from 1 x 10 -6 mole to 5 x 10 -2 mole per mole of silver halide, and particularly preferably is from 1 x 10 -5 mole to 2 x 10 -2 mole per mole of silver halide. In the present invention, the compound represented by Formula (I) is incorporated into a photographic light-sensitive material preferably by incorporating into a silver halide emulsion layer but may be incorporated into the other non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layers (for example, a protective layer, an intermediate layer, a filter layer, and an anti-halation layer). In the case where it is added to the silver halide emulsion layer, it may be added at an arbitrary period of when starting a chemical sensitization to before coating, and it is added preferably during a period of after finishing the chemical sensitization to before coating. In particular, it is added preferably to a coating solution prepared for coating. The silver halide emulsion used in the present invention may have a composition of silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide, and silver iodochlorobromide. Various processes conventionally known in the field of a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material can be used to prepare the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention. It can be prepared by the processes described in, for example, P. Glafkides, Chimie et Physique Photographique (published by Paul Montel Co., 1967), G.F. Duffin, Photographic Emulsion Chemistr y (published by The Focal Press Co., 1966), and V.L. Zelikman et al, Making and Coating Photographic Emulsion written by (published by The Focal Press Co., 1964). The emulsion used in the present invention is preferably a monodispersed emulsion and has a fluctuation coefficient of 20 % or less, particularly preferably 15 % or less. The grains contained in the monodispersed silver halide emulsion has an average grain size of 0.5 mm or less, particularly preferably 0.1 to 0.4 mm. Any of a single jet process, a double jet process and the combination thereof may be used as a process for reacting a water soluble silver salt (a silver nitrate aqueous solution) with a water soluble halide. As one form of the double jet process, a process in which pAg in a liquid phase in which the silver halide is formed is maintained constant, that is, a controlled double jet process may be used. A so-called silver halide solvent such as ammonia, thioether, and tetra-substituted thiourea is preferably used to form a grain. It is more preferably a tetra-substituted thio-urea compound and it is described in JP-A-53-82408 and 55-77737. More preferred thiourea compound is tetramethyl thiourea or 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinethione. A silver halide emulsion having a regular crystal form and a narrow grain size distribution can readily be prepared by the controlled double jet process and a grain forming process in which a silver halide solvent is used, and they are the useful means for preparing the emulsion used in the present invention. A monodispersed emulsion has preferably a regular crystal form such as cube, octahedron and tetradecahedron. In particular, cube is more preferred. The silver halide grains may consist of either a phase in which the inside and surface thereof are uniform or a phase in which they are different. In the present invention, the silver halide emulsion particularly suitable for the light-sensitive materials for photographing a line drawing and preparing a halftone dot is an emulsion prepared in the presence of an iridium salt or the complex salt thereof of 10 -8 to 10 -5 mole per mole of silver halide. In the present invention, a silver halide emulsion particularly suitable for a light-sensitive material for a contact work is of silver halide comprising silver chloride of 90 mole % or more, more preferably 95 mole % or more and of silver chlorobromide or silver chloroiodobromide containing 0 to 10 mole % of silver bromide. The increase in a proportion of silver bromide or silver iodide is not preferred since a safelight safety in a daylight is deteriorated or g is lowered. The silver halide emulsion used in the present invention may be chemically sensitized. As a method for a chemical sensitization, the known methods such as a sulfur sensitization, a selenium sensitization, a tellurium sensitization, and a noble metal sensitization can be used. They are used singly or in combination. When they are used in combination, the combinations of, for example, the sulfur sensitization and a gold sensitization, the sulfur sensitization, the selenium sensitization and the gold sensitization, and the sulfur sensitization, the tellurium sensitization and the gold sensitization are preferred. The sulfur sensitization used in the present invention is usually carried out by adding a sulfur sensitizer and stirring an emulsion at a high temperature of 40°C or higher for a fixed time. The conventional compounds can be used as the sulfur sensitizer. In addition to the sulfur compounds contained in gelatin, various sulfur compounds, for example, thiosulfite, thioureas, thiazoles, and rhodanine can be used. The preferred sulfur compounds include thiosulfite and a thiourea compound. An addition amount of the sulfur sensitizer is changeable under the various conditions of pH, a temperature and a size of a silver halide grain in chemical ripening, and it is preferably 10 -7 to 10 -2 mole, more preferably 10 -5 to 10 -3 mole per mole of silver halide. Conventional selenium compounds can be used as the selenium compound in the present invention. That is, an unstable type selenium compound is usually added and used by stirring an emulsion at an elevated temperature, preferably at 40°C or higher for a fixed time. As the unstable selenium compound, the compounds described in JP-B-44-15748 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means an examined Japanese patent publication) and JP-B-43-13489, and JP-A-4-25832, JP-A-4-109240 and JP-A-4-324855 can be used. In particular, the compounds shown by Formulas (VIII) and (IX) in JP-A-4-324855 are preferably used. The tellurium compound used in the present invention is a compound formed on a surface or inside of a silver halide grain in the form of silver telluride which is estimated to become a sensitizing nucleus. A generating speed of silver telluride contained in a silver halide emulsion can be tested by the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-146739.

A cadmium salt, sulfite, a lead salt, and a thallium salt may be allowed to coexist with the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention in the step of a formation or a physical ripening of the silver halide grains. In the present invention, a reduction sensitization can be used. As a reduction sensitizer, a stannous salt, amines, formamidinesulfinic acid, and a silane compound can be used. A thiosulfonic acid compound may be added to the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention by the method shown in European Patent 293,917. The silver halide emulsions contained in the light-sensitive material of the present invention may be used singly or may be used in combination of two or more kinds (for example, those each having a different average grain size, those each having a different halogen composition, those each having a different crystal habit, and those each having a different chemical sensitization condition). The silver halide photographic light sensitive material of the present invention may contain a rhodium compound in order to achieve a high contrast and a low fog. A water soluble rhodium compound can be used as the rhodium compound in the present invention.

Various iridium compounds may be used in the present invention. Examples of iridium compounds include hexachloroiridium, hexaammineiridium, trioxalatoiridium, and hexacyanoiridium. These iridium compounds can be dissolved in water or a suitable solvent to use them. A method which is usually used to stabilize a solution of the iridium compound, that is, a method in which a hydrogen halide aqueous solution (for example, hydrochloric acid, bromic acid and hydrofluoric acid), or an alkali halide (for example, KCl, NaCl, KBr, and NaBr) is added to the solution may be used. Instead of use the water soluble iridium compound, it is also possible to add and dissolve the different silver halide grains in which iridium is doped in advance, during preparation of silver halide. The total addition amount of the iridium compounds are suitably 1 x 10 -8 to 5 x 10 -6 mole, preferably 1 x 10 -8 to 1 x 10 -6 mole per mole of silver halide finally formed. These compounds are suitably added at the respective stages during preparation of the silver halide grains and before coating an emulsion. In particular, they are added preferably during preparation of the emulsion to incorporate them into the silver halide grains. The silver halide grains used in the present invention may contain a metal atom such as iron, cobalt, nickel, ruthenium, palladium, platinum, gold, thallium, copper, lead, and osmium. The above metals are added preferably in an amount of 1 x 10 -9 to 1 x 10 -4 mole per mole of silver halide. The above metals can be added in the form of a single salt, a double salt or a metal salt of a complex salt during preparation of the grains to incorporate them into the grains. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material according to the present invention may contain at least one metal atom selected from rhenium, ruthenium and osmium. The content thereof falls preferably in the range of 1 x 10 -9 to 1 x 10 -5 mole, more preferably 1 x 10 -8 to 1 x 10 -6 mole per mole of silver. These metal atoms may be used in combination of two or more kinds. These metal atoms can be uniformly incorporated into the silver halide grains or can be incorporated so that distributions are generated in the grains as described in JP-A-63-29603, JP-A-2-306236, JP-A-3-167545, JP-A-4-76534, and JP-A-6-110146. Rhenium, ruthenium and osmium are added in the forms of the water soluble complex salts described in JP-A-63-2042, JP-A-1-285941, JP-A-2-20852 and JP-A-2-20855. A hexaligand-complex represented by the following formula is enumerated as the particularly preferred one: [ML 6 ] -n wherein M represents Ru, Re or Os, L represents a ligand and n represents 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. In this case, a paired ion has no importance and an ammonium or alkali metal ion is used. There are enumerated as the preferred ligand, a halide ligand, a cyanide ligand, a cyanate ligand, a nitrosyl ligand, and a thionitrosyl ligand. Examples of the complexes used in the present invention are shown below but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In particular, they are preferably added during preparation of the emulsion to incorporate them into the silver halide grains. For incorporation of the metal complex into the silver halide grains during production of the grains, a method in which an aqueous solution dissolving a powder of the metal complex or the complex together with NaCl or KCl is added to a water soluble silver salt solution or a water soluble halide solution while preparing the grains, a method in which the metal complex is added as the third solution when a silver salt and a halide solution are added at the same time to prepare the silver halide grains by a process of simultaneously mixing the three solutions, and a method in which an aqueous solution of a necessary amount of a metal complex is placed in a reaction vessel during a grain formation can be used. In particular, the method in which the aqueous solution dissolving the metal complex powder or the complex together with NaCl or KCl is added to the water soluble halide solution is preferred. In order to add them to a grain surface, an aqueous solution of a necessary amount of a metal complex can be put in a reaction vessel immediately after forming the grains, during the course of or after finishing a physical ripening, or during a chemical ripening. The other heavy metal salts may be doped into the silver halide grains in the present invention. In particular, an Fe salt such as K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] is advantageously doped. Further, in the present invention, the other compounds of a metal included in the VIII Group, that is, cobalt, nickel, iridium, palladium, and platinum may be used in combination. In particular, use in combination with an iridium salt such as iridium chloride and ammonium hexachloroiridate (III) is advantageous since a high sensitivity and a high contrast can be obtained. Gelatin is advantageously used as a protective colloid for a photographic emulsion or as a binder for hydrophilic colloid layers other than the emulsion layer. In addition to gelatin, the other hydrophilic colloids can be used as well. For example, proteins such as a gelatin derivative, a graft polymer of gelatin with the other polymers, albumin, and casein; cellulose derivatives such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose sulfuric acid esters; saccharose derivatives such as sodium alginate and a starch derivative; and various synthetic hydrophilic high molecular materials such as homopolymers or co-polymers including polyvinyl alcohol, partially-acetalized polyvinyl alcohol, poly-N-vinyl-pyrrolidone, acrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyvinylimidazole, and polyvinylpyrazole may be used. In addition to lime-treated gelatin, acid-treated gelatin, a gelatin hydrolysis product and a gelatin enzyme-decomposed product can be used as well. Various compounds can be incorporated into the light-sensitive material according to the present invention for the purpose of preventing a fog or stabilizing a photographic performance during manufacturing, storage or a photographic processing of the light-sensitive material.
